Help me find more men's scents to like?

Hey guys! Well, I am super picky with men's scents and can't find too many that I like! I have yet to try many..but here are some of my likes/experiences..blah blah blah. Thanks a lot!

Ok..in the past I've loved the Polo line..original Polo and Double Black. But now DB is like way sweet-fruity to my nose and it puts me off! Polo Explorer, same thing..liked it now it's way too sweet. Ugh. Polo Blue is awful to me..aquatic musk, blech.

Did like Armani Code some but now it's medicinal syrup and the Ultimate..again, with the sweet, don't like it.

GIT by Creed I kinda like..worth the money though? Idk..isn't it like Aspen? But haven't smelled Aspen in forever. And I thought I smelled a dose of musk in there, a dislike. And Cool Water..nope, don't like it and don't see similarities to GIT.

I like classic Brut I think, been a while but don't like Axe scents, lol.

Tdh..kinda liked that classic vibe but too orangey.

MI I kinda like..but too musky and I think there was fruit in there I didn't care for but don't remember.

Don't like Aventus much...the wood notes are ok but wouldn't buy a bottle.

Kinda like Creed Spice and Wood, the opening..but then it's an apples and musk potpourri, a nope.

Egoiste..the cinnamon..he doesn't like it, either do I (on a man). Though, Ego would be one I may wear for me, lol..as I dig cinnamon on myself.

Fahrenheit way too spicy and I like spice...was a pepper bomb

Liked YSL L'homme but now it's too sweet and tobacco-y

Maybe something classic? And I like really 'manly' or masculine scents. I know, I just don't know how else to describe!

No-nos: Sweet, vanilla, musk, aquatics, rose, incense(no smoke please), fruit..no pineapple, apples, any fruit. Citrus is ok just not too much. No huge doses of patchouli I don't think. Though some is ok...as I seem to like earthy a bit.

Am I too picky?

Thanks! Oh ya, forgot to mention not a fan at all of Mugler scents lol, but thanks! Ormonde Man gets some attention, interested..there's musk but perhaps it's not much from what I've read. And I've been thinking to check out Bois du Portugal.

Sounds a teensy bit picky to me, I don't know, have you tried the ADP Colonia range?

I think Caron pour Un Homme will fit the bill perfectly. It has vanilla, musk, and some sort of spiced apple note keeping it interesting. It's very classy, can be dressed up or down, high quality, and relatively inexpensive.
